Downloading files from torrent sites can be an awful way to obtain your favourite contents primarily because it usually takes a compatible torrent app to sideload the files. To sideload apps, you will need Xcode or Cydia Impactor to get your files on board.

While this is fine, iOS users have the option to reduce the hassle by removing revoked access and expiring certificates. To do this, you just need to consider a few things. IBTimes Singapore presents how you can do just that.

Step 1: First and foremost, you will need the VLC media player for iOS installed on your device. This will be used to playback your downloads. If you don't have it yet on your iPhone or iPad, you can download it from the App Store for free.

Step 2: Proceed to your desired torrent site. Find the subject torrent file through the usual mechanisms and then copy the magnet link to that file.

Step 3: Once the link is copied, go to m.zbigz.com in Safari and paste the link into the address bar. Tap Go or hit the green button. This will process your request. Once done, the torrent will be made available with a green-coloured download icon. Tap on that.

Step 4: A streaming page should come out. You can directly stream the file on your device if you prefer that. You can also download the content by just copying and pasting the URL from the streaming page.

Step 5: Open the VLC media player and go to the Down tab. Paste the URL of the content that you want to download. Hit the Download button.

Wait until the file finishes downloading. Once done, you will be able to watch or listen to the content through the VLC media player.
